Creative Futures Fund recipients announced

Creative Australia has announced the latest recipients of funding from its Creative Futures Fund.

An ‘initiative of the Australian Government’s National Cultural Policy Revive’, the Creative Futures Fund ‘supports the creation and sharing of Australian stories, and new ways for people to engage with them’. Twenty ‘ambitious, large-scale creative projects’ will share in $7.8m of funding.

The Fund is offered in two streams: Delivery, to ‘realise bold new works, build partnerships and co-investment and deliver lasting impact’, and Development, to ‘explore new ideas, adapt existing works, and test market potential’.

One literary organisation will receive development funding:

• Red Room Poetry, for a Youth Poet Laureate program to fire the creativity of young Australians and build Australia’s international reputation for creative innovation. A Youth Poet Laureate from every state/territory will be chosen to join a curated mentoring program, and an expert panel will select one of these as National Youth Poet Laureate.

For the full list of recipients in all categories, see the Creative Australia website.
